Spirit of Masonry

Masonry is much more than a social organisation of fraternal benefit to its members. It is a spiritual quest and a way of life and its destiny is to bring spiritual benefits to all men, Masons and non-Masons alike. The right function of modern Masonry is to be the builder of each man's unseen temple of life. It is concerned with true life values and right human relations. It inculcates self-control, honesty, justice, mercy, morality, personal integrity and brotherhood as the necessary foundation for spiritual growth. Indeed the goal of every Mason is growth in understanding of spiritual values; the achieving of mastery of life itself is perfected in the succeeding initiations. This is fascinatingly practical.
